Thanks to Adlon, we know that the holy grail exists, but attaining it is another matter.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Turns out the test server ran out of hard drive space as the database filled up. Apparently an extra HD has been added now.

How could it take so little - hours - to fill up the HD?

Nope. Adlon (ME) Made a critical error. I used a hard drive that was laying around, a 10G that I THOUGHT was empty.

So, I install the driv, and load the OS. At the beginning of the OS Load, you get the option to format the drive. So, I did, and walked away during the format.

What I MISSED was that I was formatting a 1G partition, not a 9+ gig partition. So we ended up with a 1Gig partition for he OS, the boards, and the ENWorld Database.

The damned drive was full at the BEGINNING of the test. No room for the swap file.

So, I feel like an idiot, and we've redone the hard drive last night, and will get vBulletin back on today.

DOH!

The newly redone test server is complete. All thats needed is for Morrus to unlock the boards: he made his DB backup while the board was locked, so, its still locked.

And, its waiting for when Morrus wants to loose the dogs of war.
